Ja'Marr Chase 74.5 (drops probably hurt him and the dumb penalty...which, BTW, why wasn't it offsetting with taunting? F'n refs.
Tee Higgins 69.5
Alex Cappa 69.3
Ted Karras 68.0
Joe Mixon 63.6
Bottom 5 on offense:
Mike Thomas 49.4
Trent Taylor 52.5
Drew Sample 53.4 (ironically, a 74.3 on pass blocking snaps, but that was only 4 snaps. Gee, predictable much?)
Joe Burrow 53.7
Cordelle Volson 54.2 (splits were 44.3 on an astounding 71 pass blocking snaps, and 64.7 on 29 run blocking snaps...wow. Again, maybe run the ball more and get your line some continuity?)
Top 5 on defense:
Trae Flowers 90.0 (It was only 5 snaps, all coverage, but still...)
DJ Reader 88.4 Still far and away the most underrated player on the team
Logan Wilson 86.7 Second most underrated?
Trey Hendrickson 82.7
Germaine Pratt 73.0 Third most underrated?
Bottom 5 on defense:
Zachary Carter 38.4 Only 11 snaps, but ugh.
ADG 49.8 Doesn't make a lot of sense, as every score on the 5 measures was >50? Tackling was a 70
Joseph Ossai 51.6 Still remains the player that should have been Spencer Brown (now RT for Buffalo) until he does anything. Had 10 pass rush snaps and did crap against a turd line.
Sam Hubbard 57.1 Find this hard to believe, and only a 27.8 in tackling?
Cam Sample 57.4 Only 9 snaps
Other notables:
Dax Hill 61.4 in his 6 snaps.
Jesse Bates 69.9 Hardly a $13 million performance. Watch what Fitzpatrick did...that's big money safety play.
Eli Apple 70.6 Highest rated secondary player other than Mike Hilton
Tyler Boyd 58.0 May have been dinged up, but sure got no separation and didn't impact the game at all
Hayden Hurst 63.4 Get this: Played 75 snaps, stayed in to pass block 1 snap. ONE! Anyone else think we are so damn predictable how they use Sample and Hurst?
Jonah Williams 62.5 Sadly, the 7th highest score on offense. Hardly a good performance.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
I don't get too caught up in individual PFF game scores. Sample size is just so small, the numbers could reflect their role or the opponent as much as their own performance. Those variables tend to be controlled over time. In the interim you'll see pretty wild fluctuations.
FWIW, a dude like Bates will rarely score well against a team like the Steelers. They don't go downfield much and his number of upside plays is very few. He has more of a preventative than playmaking role there. I think the entire secondary played well on account of the 5.1 yards per attempt so I wouldn't microanalyze their PFF numbers- maybe that's just me. But 70 is decent anyway! To treat it like a referendum on his season-long salary... come on now haha... waay too early for that.
I do see that 4 of the bottom 5 on offense are either backups (Thomas, Taylor, Sample) or would be backups (Volson). That's probably just a coincidence but still interesting.
